Chapter 891: Different Experience (1/2)
Both the Bone Blood Demon and the Frost Blood Python followed Nie Tian and Yin Yanan’s command to stay in place.
Since, unlike outsiders, the two dead Soul realm Qi warriors didn’t have much residual flesh power in them, the Frost Blood Python and the Bone Blood Demon didn’t show any interest in their corpses.
However, the five powerful evil spirits swooped by and absorbed their discarnate souls before they vanished into heaven and earth.
“Their rings of holding are yours to take,” Nie Tian said plainly. “I don’t want you to work without getting paid.”
“That’s more like it.” Yin Yanan pursed her lips into a smile and flew off the Star Boat without standing on ceremony.
Delight appeared in Mu Biqiong’s eyes as she flew off after her.
Soul realm experts usually had all kinds of treasures in their possession. They most likely had their own Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tools. Adding in some spirit jades, medicinal pills, and spiritual materials, the two of them would be more than satisfied.
Standing on the Star Boat, both Hua Mu and Qi Bailu had sustained injuries to different degrees, and almost used up all of their power after numerous encounters.
Hua Mu smiled bitterly as he sat down, took out a handful of medicinal pills, and stuffed them down his throat. “Nie Tian… I didn’t expect that we’d end up needing your help in the Shatter Battlefield.”
With a complicated look in his eyes, Qi Bailu chimed in. “You demonstrated your extraordinary talent back when you were still in the Domain of the Falling Stars. Who would have thought that you’d shine even brighter after coming to the Shatter Battlefield?”
“Uncle Hua, your Heavenly Demonsbane...” Nie Tian wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
He sensed that the Heavenly Demonsbane hidden between Hua Mu’s eyebrows was showing signs of withering.
Thanks to his special bloodline, he had a keen perception of life power, especially in special beings like the Heavenly Demonsbane and the coexisting flowers.
Now that his bloodline had advanced to the sixth grade and awakened new bloodline talents, his perception had grown keener as well.
Hua Mu sighed. “The Heavenly Demonsbane has also sustained heavy injuries. If it weren’t for it, just the two of us wouldn’t have been able to last this long. I guess we owe it a thank you. It’s a pity that it has drained the power it has accumulated over all these years. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for it to recover its lost power again.
“But of course, that’s not a terrible thing for me.”
“What do you mean?” Nie Tian asked curiously.
“It being weak means even if I sustain serious injuries in the future, it won’t be strong enough to possess me.” With these words, Hua Mu looked somewhat downcast. “However, if it becomes too weak, it’ll start to channel my soul power, which will affect my future cultivation.”
Nie Tian fell silent. After a moment of pondering, he took his remaining berries from within his ring of holding and handed them all to Hua Mu. “I believe these things will help your Heavenly Demonsbane recover its strength. Even though I don’t know how helpful they’ll be, I’m certain the Heavenly Demonsbane will recover much faster with their help than without.”
Hua Mu received the berries and asked with a confused expression, “What are they?”
Nie Tian then explained, “I don’t know for sure. We found them from a mountain cave in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range. That entire mountain seemed to be the remains of a titan. The titan’s residual life power gave birth to these berries, and allowed them to contain life power as well.”
Hua Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Life power?! If that’s true, they’ll definitely be of great help to the Heavenly Demonsbane’s recovery! The Fruit of Life you gave me years ago not only prolonged my lifespan, but also helped the Heavenly Demonsbane grow at a much faster speed. The reason why it was able to possess me during the battle of the Realm of Mystic Heaven was partly because that Fruit of Life made it much stronger than before.”
With these words, he swallowed the berries one after another.
As soon as they reached his abdomen, the Heavenly Demonsbane between his eyebrows seemed to notice the changes.
The pattern that was originally too faint to make out suddenly grew distinctive.
Wisps of life power rapidly filled his stomach before the Heavenly Demonsbane captured and channeled them to between Hua Mu’s eyebrows.
The Heavenly Demonsbane’s growth depended on Hua Mu’s soul and flesh power.
However, since Hua Mu was a human, he was born with feeble flesh power. This had greatly limited the Heavenly Demonsbane’s growth.
The life power the berries contained was even more mysteriously powerful than flesh power.
Only a few of them provided enough life power for the Heavenly Demonsbane to reappear vividly between Hua Mu’s eyebrows.
Hua Mu closed his eyes to examine the changes taking place inside of him. Then, he reopened his eyes and said to Nie Tian, “These berries not only contained life power, but also the residual flesh power of a titan. Because of this, they’ll probably give me another twenty to thirty years of life. With this additional time, I’m confident that I’ll be able to enter the Void domain before my lifespan runs out.”
Once a human cultivator entered the Void domain, their lifespan would go from three thousand years straight up to ten thousand years.
With the added seven thousand years, Hua Mu would have plenty of time to head towards higher levels.
The Fruit of Life had already extended his lifespan by a hundred years. Now, with another twenty to thirty years, he was now much more confident.
